The Slackers - A Long Way Off lyrics

A man on the street Asked me where I was going I looked at him and said Man, I wish that I was knowing It seems I'm always up against The wind that's blowing It's such a long way off Such a long way off Maybe it's a coffin That's the best cure for my cough But that's a long way off I wagered all my winnings On a table full of tears She looked at me and said Man, we don't play that game here Just Russian roulette With a pistol to your ear And you're a long way off Such a long way off She said, you look Roman I said, I'm just roamin' off Such a long way off I say a can is for my dreams As they hung from the trees She stole the fruits Of all my victories I was waiting for a thank you But I never got a please I was a long way off Such a long way off My head has gone heavy And my heart has grown soft I was a long way off I felt that I was floatin' Somewhere in outer space I really thought I found it By lookin' in her face But I guess I never found it In the first place I was a long way off Such a long way off I sink like a stone If I would carry the loss Such a long way off Such a long way off Such a long way off Such a long way off Such a long way Such a wrong way Such a long way off Such a long way off Such a long way off Such a long way It's the wrong way It's the wrong way
